5 Ways To Refresh Your Look Right Now

We love refreshing our wardrobe. And shoe
collection. And don't even get me started on how awesome it feels to
update that underwear drawer (bye-bye granny undies!). So why not push
the refresh button on your beauty regimen too? These simple tips give
maximum returns for minimum input. Gotta love that.

1. Make dry shampoo your friend.

If
this year is already pulling at your purse strings, here's a word of
advice: Invest in a dry shampoo. This powder spray will save you stacks
in salon bills as it extends the life of your blow-dry, instantly makes
dirty hair look freshly washed (and your roots conveniently less
re-growthy) and adds volume around the crown. It's the ultimate hair
multi-tasker.

2. Set your lipstick with ice.

Love
a bright lipstick? Push the refresh button on this classic beauty look
by making it last 5,000 times longer with a little friend from the
freezer: ice. Yep, apply your shade of choice as usual and then rub the
ice cube over your lips to allow the lipstick to set.

3. Invest in serious skin care.

Oh,
the joys of ageing: more confidence, more money, more wrinkles. Oh wait
… unless, of course, you refresh your skin care regimen by amping up
your ageing artillery. Products containing alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs)
are an ideal way to improve skin tone and make your complexion look
brighter and more youthful overall. Get onto it, stat!

4. Reinvent the smoky eye.

In
recent years, we've seen the smoky eye change costumes more than Lady
Gaga. From metallic bronze shades to super-black and intense, this look
is the Kylie of makeup -- constantly reinventing itself. Now, it's time
to do it again by adding a little navy blue to the mix. Yep, switch your
blacks and browns for rich sapphire shades and pair it with contoured
cheeks, flawless skin and a nude lip.

5. Oil up your spray tan.

Body
oils are fast becoming the hydration product of choice for many beauty
editors because of their ability to instantly soak in and leave your
skin nourished for hours. Switch from heavy body lotions to oils in the
hotter months for that light, silky feeling -- as a bonus, you'll extend
the life of your spray tan by up to a week!
